the State of. South Austrelia Common Wealth of Austrslia, have invented certain new and useful improved Moons for Supplying s Spraying Fluid Under Pressure;'

and l do hereby declare the following to be as full, clear, and exact description of the in-v vention, such will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertni-ns to make and i the illustrating one embodiment of my inven;

elevation of s field centrifugal mixing and sediment chamber, and Fig. l a plan view of that chamber with its cover removed. Fig. 5 is a plan view, showing my invention. as used with a system of feed pipes for the spraying mixture. FignG shows a sectional elevation of a valve or top body having sedimentv discharge means of which a series are used in the field. Fig 7 shows in elevation u plug for one or for in turn a series of tap bodies to be used to conduct th-e spray mixture to a hose. fiexible'tube, or

like, portly shown. Fig. 8 is n detail oi the plug seen at right angles to the view in Fig. 7. Fig. 9 is an cud view of a valve device.

ing blades d hsving any suitable single, curve, or set; and mounted as on o spindle e suitably-driven from shelta by bevel wheels 1". The said compound is allowed to flow from vessel d through an outlet regulated by a valve g outside the casing of,

which is an indicator 9, pointing to a scale,

there being a handle or other-means to set,

the valve to permit the rate of flow desired from tank 01. The discharge is into atenk h, into which water or other liquid is ad mitted from a source not shown, as from a main, by Way of pipe 27 its flow being regulatcd by a valve 2', the casing of which has a scale and an indicator 2" of the kind already described. The said water or other liquid is to be thoroughly mixed with the compound to-produce the desired spraying mixture and suitable means, shown as a pump j, is provided to efiect the mixing' If desired, other substances preferably in powdered form, can be supplied to the tank In for use in combination with or independently of the compound in tank a1. "l o supply tank h with powder there is a vessel 65 to be supplied in any suitable way and having any suitable outlet as a valve g having also an indicator adjusted to control the rate of discharge through it. Thepowder in vessel d is when required agitated to prevent it from consolidating and to insure its being led out. Thus e is :1 spindle to be rotated as from sliatliting andlitted with means as screw pfito feed powder to discharge through valve g. it is convenient to have ateach feed valve described the said scale by which the respective regulator can be set from time to time. i

When the spraying liquid or mixture of ingredients is ready for field use it delivered through a p pe as m, which at its on Eli suitable bends: and branches as ,79, t ii There are held chambers 11. in or near these'v'esseis, and one r more air pressure cushions will thus he fended These aid in steady/hag the pressure in the field main 8, which issues from vessel n. lPum cylinder k and vessel Z arejinouuted suits ly, us on base 0, having passages 0 0 0 ith valves as In, Z and 22 8 is a valve controlling main 8, and 8 :1 pressure gage. Tank n has a relief valve n as on tube 70 havin a. sediment or a. liquid clearing plug of. ther clearing plugs, is at u may he provided. When the pressure in the tank rises over the maximum decided on, (according to which the valve will be adjusted) then relief valve 42 opens, and allows li uid to return through pipe or to tank It. hen it; is not desired to supply the field, valve 8 can be closed; then by continuing to pump and using clean Water or :1

cleansing solution the passages and vessels described can be cleaned; plug n can be moved and Wash-water or liquid be allowed to escape thereby.

A red p having a belt shifter p is connected tovnlve n by an adjustable bell crank lever 01?,- When the said valve opens, the belt 15 on the fast pulley o will be shifted to the'adjscent loose pulley. Rod g) has connections so as to close or partly close valves on the. pipes leading to vessel la These valves may for example be shut oil when valve n is opened.

g '5 and g are geared Wheels, actuated by racks p p 29* on rod go. As these Wheels turn the valves close'in part or if required altogether.

In Fig. 9 Wheel 2' operates a valve on pipe i which leads to tank h; and like devices are usable With. Wheels 9 and Q2.

llhe closing movement of rod p controls the engine when required, as by link p to partially close the throttle. When the pressure in vessel 0?, goes below the inuxiuuun aforesaid rod p is returned to its normal position, and pumping and other operations are resumed. I use means as a spring;- n to return rod 10. e

'Pump 9' has at the base of its cylinder a cage j with holes to enable the matter scted upon to be ejected toward or spread over-u large area of the tank interior.

j indicz tes a valve, which opens at each up stroke of the pump plunger 9' and admits material and closes on each down stroke, so

returning the inute'isl with velocity through the holes, causing thorough mixing. and the breaking up of any solid limiter ihut may be present.

There may be u plurality of uiixii'ig pumps.
